I Do

Today, a wedding

and you here beside me

Our wedding

and you, true one,

beside me

tomorrow

a new wedding

without fan fare or witness

then another

and another

each as important as today, or more

for each day I marry you

then marry you again

I have married you a thousand times

and will

a thousand more

each day

I dress in white – again

innocent to the amazing task

of knowing you

each day anew

This is all that I can vow

– my striving to know you

and the promise that tomorrow

I will marry you again

we wake

I marry you

we cook

we work

we breathe

I marry you

we fall to bed

I marry you

again

you are my beloved

and I do

marry you

again and again and again
